Why the "?!"? Do you LIKE 3270 type tubes? Amdahl's UTS has had full-duplex serial line support on the 4705 (Amdahl equivalent of a 3705) available for a long time - I used it myself when working there 2 summers ago. I think they have better hardware for that purpose now, however. -- Jon Leech (leech@dopey.cs.unc.edu) [Note changed address!] __@/
